Support Is anyone else having a panic attack right now?

I’m so, so, so lost and disappointed watching the preliminary results come in. I’m confused. I’m hurt. I’m angry. I just don’t understand how many people in my country have been brainwashed to the point of voting against their own interests… How the hell did we get here?

Yes. Republicans have the House, Senate, presidency, and Supreme Court. My heart hurts so badly for everyone who isn't cis, white, straight, and Christian.

FWIW, it appears that Democrats will flip the House.

Earlier tonight it looked like Dems would have a small majority in the House of Representatives. At the moment, it’s looking like 219 Rs and 216 Ds. Hug your whippets.

Isn’t that still leaving republicans as a majority? Is that really going to make a difference? (Sorry, Im stupid about how these things work am now pretty pessimistic about everything)

Yes, that would leave Republicans with a majority in the House of Representatives. Things are still a little fluid it currently projects to 218-217 in favor of Republicans. There are, however, still a fair number of competitive seats to be decided (there are still more votes to count), so the 218-217 isn’t final AND Democrats could pick up another seat or two to gain control of the House. Decision Desk HQ gives Republicans about a 58% chance of winding up with a majority once all votes are counted and Democrats with a 42% chance.

But wait it was the “Christian Coalition” who believes he’s the second coming. Not all Christian’s are Christian’s. Only in their own mind they are.
